TARDANZAS 

 

❖ Las horas de la mañana son las horas de aprendizaje más cruciales de un día escolar porque es cuando los estudiantes están más atentos. 

 

❖ Llegar a tiempo construye el hábito de puntualidad y responsabilidad. 

 

❖ La tardanza hace que los estudiantes se sientan desconectados de la escuela, lo que lleva a problemas de conducta y abandono escolar. 

 

❖ ¡Un estudiante que llega solo 10 minutos tarde todos los días perderá más de 30 horas de instrucción durante todo el año escolar!
